This case is not just for three "C-Stands" - it it for so much more than that! It a full-blown production case that can store and transport a huge amount of gear!
Quick History - The "C-Stand" - for those who don't know. Years back, a company named "Century", came up with the idea of a stand that was more than just another "lighting stand". These stands had a small base of three legs. Each had a different height of the cross member of the leg, so the c-stands could be placed very close to each other. Some had "Rocky Mountain" legs - legs that could be set to different heights, like on stairs. In short, excellent stands for using with Nets, Flags and almost any times you need to hold something up. Like a background! Very versatile!
So, these stands became known as "Century Stands" and that got shortened to "C-Stands". The other well known name is a "grip stand". Today, both names are thrown around a set, as both names mean the same piece of gear. I thought a few people out there, might like to know, if they did not already. Heck, I didn't know when I started!
This superb case by MagicLine is very well thought out, very well made, and an excellent way to transport gear. It can easily take three c-stands, and the ideal way to do that, is to take them apart. The base easily detaches from the single pole and both pieces can be held in place with the various belts, elastics and the adjustable foam panels. That is what makes this case so great - the possibility of changing the configuration you have right now.
If you add another piece of gear - say, add another light stand - it's great to have the option to adjust the interior. You might want to have the new stand added to the same area as another stand, or maybe you want to distribute the weight better. By having an interior with moveable parts, you can do this.
I have had custom hard cases made for me in the past, and although they are great for what you designed them for, as equipment changes, or you start using different kinds of gear, suddenly that solid, custom case does not fit your work style anymore. I would always suggest a case that can adapt.
If you place three c-stands, three light-weight lighting stands, some grip heads, and a bunch of small, lighting parts, the case is going to be more than a single person should carry. Yes, there is a centre strap that can actually take a lot of weight, as it is stitched into the side panels - very heavy duty! But there are two, excellent end handles made for this. With two people - one at each end - this baby is easy to move! And although it is going to be heavy with gear, you are saving yourself at least three other bags.
Another example of smart design, is loading this case into your van or truck. The bottom has a series of "skid plates" - solid hard plastic/nylon runners that will allow the case to slide on these as you push/pull the unit into place. The corners are all armoured, too. Protecting both the case and the contents.
The case will stand up without any problem, as it has two large feet on the same end as the two wheels. This makes storage easy, as it takes up a very small footprint either in you studio/storage area, or on set at work.
A very smart idea, too, is the fact the padded fabric that surrounds the entire case, is removable. Or, at least, you can find a zipper that give you access to the hard shell inner case. Why do you want that? In case of a break. You can get in there, and you can make repairs. Now, I doubt that will happen, but if it does, rather than having to toss out the entire case, it can be repaired to "like new". To me, that's an excellent feature! Stuff can break, and having a way to fix it, is just the kind of thinking I want to support. Not the "break it and it's done" theory of far too many products...
Other smart features is the strap to hole the lid open, rather than just having the lid flop over. I like the wheels that DO NOT swivel. I want my case to go where I want it to go, not where it wants to go. You might find this funny, but it looks professional. That's important. Part of working, is looking the part. Show up with a golf club bag and see what happens. It might transport what you have, but it does not install confidence in a client! Inside, there is centre, removable section for use as the bottom base of c-stands. However, on the flip side, the entire side is one giant pocket. For me, an excellent place to safely store a number of gels and diffusion material. Again, this case has so many possibilities for storage and transport.
I was going to add some photos of these various features, but if you look at the ad, everything is shown. Armoured corners, wheels, interior design - it's all there.
Bottom Line - An excellent piece of equipment! That's right - equipment! It's doing a job and doing it very well. That to me, is the definition of a piece of equipment. It will store and protect whatever products you decide to store. It will transport those same pieces, safely too. And again, my big point, you can alter the interior to fit a change in a particular job coming up, or a more permanent change in your gear. At least Five out of Five Stars!

Perfect travel companion for all my camera equipment event carrying needs
Really impressed in every way by the thickness and durability of these hard, all-weather, trolly cases available from MAGICLINE that offer me the most protection I have ever had, and could ever have need for, when it comes to protecting my lighting stands and other camera gear. I ordered the 143 x 40 x 22 cm trolly case. I have previously acquired some of this brands smaller, softer round-cases for various equipment, but needed even longer, more durable case for studio equipment during longer travel plans. I am a Fujifilm mirrorless shooter in particular, and like any mirrorless gear, it does not come cheap. I also invest in a lot of lighting equipment for my studio and other shoots, and I have found that regular bags just don't cut it when travelling long distances. This case is so completely protective in every way, as well as offering the additional benefit of wheels and very durable handles, large zippers and lock options. It is in every way built to withstand the rigours of distance travel or large event work. I also happened to have ordered my version in black, and I don't think this product comes in any other colour options. But black is nondescript and perfect for travel. I am hugely impressed by the likewise black inside inserts — plenty of customization. You can pull the Velcro rectangles out as you need to create a form fitting space that is specifically matching your particular camera or video gear and other equipment setups. There are also Velcro wraps to keep tripods and other long gear secure. Overall, this is the best case for my needs, and I can only assume it would be for anyone else already considering a trolly case like this. It's really awesome, and can easily be stacked if you decided to get more than one, which I absolutely will be, in the future. Very impressed by this product. 5 stars.

Okay, let me start with the good. The bag will hold 3 C-Stands. It's large enough to fit other things in it as well. The wheels roll very well. It's a great way to store your stands, and a great idea in theory.RodneyWell, it fits 3 C-Stands, but...
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2024
However...
This bag is simply not designed to handle the weight of 3 C-Stands. The top handle, that you use when rolling the case, has ripped twice on me already. (I've used it twice now). I'm not hard on my gear either. I paid good money for my stuff, so it gets treated in a way to last. Also, I only have 2 C-Stands in the bag, not 3.
It's a great product in thought, but it's a pain to be constantly fixing the handles because they keep ripping.
